An Empty Bowl workshop

For Empty Bowls, we often encourage friends who are not potters to paint designs on bisqued bowls with underglazes. We then cover their designs with a transparent glaze and fire as usual. It is always a treat to see what people come up with and their unusual approaches to surface design.
The following pictures was from a bowl painting workshop in Lacey WA. We painted a whopping 24 bowls that afternoon.

Gavin Eveland, the young man is a painter in oils. His approach to painting bowls is unquestionably different.

More people donating their time and talent to make Empty Bowls a success. In addition they are having a great time working on their designs.

Although this is a blurry picture, Patrick's concentration is still apparent. The bowls he painted were crazy and creative.
